The Town I Used to Know (Single)

The Town I Used to Know [Official Audio]

This is both a new song and a public service announcement. 

I actually combined about four different concepts I've been working on and mashed them all together to create this. I hope to smooth it out a little more over time, but deadlines have once again intervened.

Tell Me So

Du kommer aldrig

There's Always Something

When I first wrote this one, I had a vision of how I wanted it to turn out. Thanks to the immense talents of Kevin Arndt on drums, Tristan Young on bass, and especially Marty Walsh on guitars, that vision was not only realized, but exceeded in ways I could never have imagined.

In the Dark - Lyrics

Get off the stage
You’ve got pockets full of rage and your finger's out to blame
You aim for praise 
You crave to see your name on the front page
You know we’ll never lay the red carpet
So you lay it down yourself

But take a look around
You can hit us all you need but we’ll never claim defeat
You can’t bring us down 
You'll never get us off our feet
So Don’t expect any final bows 
We won’t let you win the crowd

Clear out the battlefield
All these hearts you took
We still dance on in the dark 
Dance on in the dark
Clear out the battlefield
All these hearts you took
We still dance on in the dark 
You will never make us stop

But you weren’t born this way
So tell me how d’you lose it 
Did you miss the love of a mother
Did you miss the care of a government 
Why’d you get along better with your hate on 
Give it up give up the run
Give it up give up the gun

Clear out the battlefield
All these hearts you took
We still dance on in the dark 
Dance on in the dark
Clear out the battlefield
All these hearts you took
We still dance on in the dark 
You will never make us stop

“Et s'ils tombent, nos jeunes heros 
La France en produit de nouveaux” (Marseillaise)

Clear out the battlefield
All our hearts
We still dance on in the dark 
we still dance in the Bataclan
Clear out the battlefield
All our hearts
We still dance on in the dark 
We still dance on

In the dark

Upsidedown

UPDATED: This is a song that I wrote for Carla Nelson, a dear friend and colleague of mine, after she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of lung cancer in the Winter of 2016. She was one of the toughest and most wonderful people I've ever met, and for her to have to face that was truly heartbreaking on so many levels. As there wasn't much else that I could do, I wrote this song, and recorded and produced it through one of my courses at Berklee. My hope is that it can provide encouragement and love to anyone that needs it as they fight whatever uphill battles stand in their way.

When Carla was first diagnosed, she was given roughly six weeks to live. Incredibly, she lived for another two years before passing away in 2019. I miss her every day, but I'm incredibly grateful for the additional time that she had with all of us. 

Personnel:
Seth Campbell - Lead vocals, backing vocals, keyboards, organ, acoustic guitars, Irish penny whistle, accordion, percussion loops
Ryo Yamaguchi - Lead electric guitars
Juan Manuel Fernandez - Backing electric guitars
Vera Gsenger - Bass
Gabriel Moy Calderón - Drums
Leahy Ardon - Cello
Gaia Leone - Backing vocals

Special thanks to my professors Joe Carrier and Chrissy Tignor-Fisher for production help and advice.

Incidentally, the rhyme of "the end" and "the end" is deliberate. It comes from a Zulu proverb, as shared by Johnny Clegg: "Everything will work itself out in the end, so it it hasn't worked itself out yet, that means it isn't the end."

Bridge Porn (Streets Of Rage 1) - Luiza 177 (2018)

Building on Michel Chion’s desire to be finished with the concept of noise*, I want to create a space where tempered and non-tempered sonorities can coexist. The traditionally unwanted sounds that would be removed during the post-production editing of a piano concert recording are not only given a prominent voice but also amplified and spatialized. I see Hidden Sounds as a dialogue between socially accepted sounds, such as brilliantly executed scalar passages, and traditionally avoided sounds, such as un-pitched noise. The length of phrases is undetermined and before starting a new idea the performer needs to wait for the piano to wind down. By refraining from the temporal grid, I provide space for a conversation between the performer and the instrument. 

*“Pour en finir avec la notion de bruit” is the preface to the epilogue of Chion’s book Le Promeneur écoutant: essais d'acoulogie

Pianist: Keith Kirchoff

Hidden Sounds

A very White Guys account of the fine system developed on the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz. 
If you don't like this track, you can go walk in the ocean, or maybe I'll take the walk. Is this up for debate? You never know!

Consulting by my friend, Andrew of Whisper Sands
https://whispersands.bandcamp.com/

Lyrics:
Waaa ooo aaa ooooh, that is a fine

When Dan gets somebody’s name wrong
When Mike gets all snobby on a song
The Reaper speaks out
Chris gets rattled and then freaks out
Then Stugotz interrupts with “That’s a fine”

Waaa ooo aaa ooooh, that is a fine

Sometimes Dan forgets to watch his tone
Stugotz coughs right in the microphone
When Billy is useless
When Stu blames to make excuses
Then we will all remind them that's a fine

Stugotz read the internet wrong
He got a fine, but his money was gone
Old Greg Cote sits in the chair
And says something that breaks the show beyond repair

Roy just typed a live read without skill
Stu just found a $20 bill (that’s a fine)
We hate to say it
One time Dan killed poor Frank Layden
And I think that’s a $50 fine

Waaa ooo aaa ooooh, that is a fine
